Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the Purchase Agreement or, if not defined in the Purchase Agreement, the Credit Agreement. References in the Exhibits to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. All interest rate and yield determinations referenced herein shall be expressed as a decimal and rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundredth of a percentage point in the manner set forth herein (as applicable).
The Seller has acquired, and may continue to acquire, Receivables and Related Security from the Originator, either by purchase or by contribution to the capital of the Seller, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller is prepared to sell undivided fractional ownership interests (referred to herein as “Receivable Interests”) in the Pool Receivables. The Purchasers may, in their sole discretion, purchase such Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables, and the Banks are prepared to purchase such Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables, in each case on the terms set forth herein.
Certain parties hereto previously entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2011, as amended by that certain Assignment and Acceptance and Amendment Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2011 and as further amended and supplemented as of February 2, 2012, May 18, 2012 and September 24, 2012 (the “Existing Agreement”).
a previous purchase), being referred to herein as the initial “Capital” of each Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables then being purchased), (ii) the date of such purchase (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) unless the purchase will be funded with Pooled Commercial Paper and except with respect to any purchase being made by ST, PNC or, BMO or TD (in their respective capacities as a Bank), the desired duration of the initial Fixed Period for each such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables. Each Purchaser Agent which has a related Purchaser shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of purchase) notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent whether such respective Purchaser has determined to make a purchase and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to such Purchaser and the yield with respect to such purchase and the amount of interest that will be due for the related Settlement Period. If (a) a Purchaser has determined not to make a proposed purchase, or (b) a Purchaser Agent does not have a related Purchaser, the respective Purchaser Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed purchase to all of the Related Banks of such Purchaser Agent concurrently specifying the date of such purchase, each such Bank’s Percentage multiplied by the aggregate amount of Capital of the Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables being purchased, and, except with respect to any purchase being made by ST, PNC or, BMO or TD (in their respective capacities as a Bank), the Assignee Rate for the Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables and the duration of the Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchasers and the Banks against any loss or expense incurred by the Purchasers and/or the Banks, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the Seller to complete such transfer, including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by the Purchasers and/or the Banks by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by the Purchasers or the Banks (including, without limitation, funds obtained by issuing notes, obtaining deposits as loans from third parties and reemployment of funds) to fund such transfer.
(b) On the date of each such purchase of a Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, each Purchaser or the Banks, as the case may be, in each case other than any Delaying Bank with respect to such purchase and such Delaying Bank’s related Purchasers, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II hereto, make available to the Seller by wire transfer in U.S. dollars in same day funds, to the account designated by the Seller, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) an amount equal to each such Purchaser’s or Bank’s ratable share (based on the applicable Bank’s Percentage) of the initial Capital of such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables. A Delaying Bank may not object to its funding obligation of Delayed Funds under Section 1.02(e)(vi) on the basis of the failure of the Seller to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit II hereto unless such Delaying Bank has delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Seller expressing its objections to the proposed purchase on or prior to the Original Date of such purchase applicable to Non-Delaying Banks.
(c) Effective on the date of each purchase pursuant to this Section 1.02 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.04, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the parties making such purchase, an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of the Receivable Interests then being purchased, in each Pool Receivable then existing and in the Related Security and Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivable and Related Security.
